As part of our Christmas treats we always make these snacks. The recipe that I have is all tattered and torn. I have had it for ???????? years. Really that many! Everyone loves this mixture and it is much anticipated.

2 pounds Mixed Nuts

12 ounces Shreddies

14 ounces Cheerios

61/2 ounces Pretzel Bits

51/2 ounces Pretzel Sticks

2 cups Salad oil

2 Tsp Worcestershire Sauce

1 Tsp Garlic salt

1 Tsp Celery salt

All of the above ingredients are approximate. I usually add a bit more by eye. NB. Put the Shreddies in after you add the oil. Mix the Cheerios, and Pretzels in a large roasting pan. Mix the Worcestershire Sauce, Garlic salt, and Celery salt together then pour over the cereal. Lastly add the Shreddies. If you forget and add the Shreddies with the Cheerios you will find that too much of the oil sticks to them. Bake in the oven at 250 degrees for 2 hours. Stir frequently. Note: Shreddies are made by Post in Canada and the UK. In the US Wheat Squares are similar.
